About the Book

"When dusk arrives in the city of Manila, that's when you become the most likely prey of the underworld. Kidnappers and thieves will be the least of your worries. Beware the criminals that can't be bound with handcuffs nor harmed with bullets.

Trese Vol 2 "Unreported Murders" contains four mysteries for Alexandra Trese to solve; including a murdered dwarven-creature, a police station held under siege by the undead, an elusive serial killer living in the sewers of the city, and an unassuming gated-community that's willing to pay the price to live the privileged life. All the stories feature updated/re-mastered artwork, and a substantial bonus section about the monsters of Philippine myth, as told by its creators Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo!"--Amazon

Review Quotes

"If you know nothing about Filipino horror and the monsters that lurk within, this is the place to start." --Book Riot

"The four stories are accompanied by in-depth fact sheets about the amazing creatures we meet, and to close Tan gives us the backstory of Trese and how it eventually ended up as a show. It rounds off a winner in every way, exotic, glamorous and beguiling."--theslingsandarrows.com


"Trese adds new life to the supernatural genre, elevating traditional stories passed down through countless generations across the Philippines. Tan's imaginings are the key to unlocking the gates to these little-known tales and making them universal, while Baldisimo's mind-blowing art is something to behold ï¿9; a superstar artist, waiting to be discovered."
